Reviews in a nutshell
If there is a third outing, it does need a good screenwriting hand. These characters became little treasures out of nowhere before seven years ago, and there is still a feeling they should be preserved for future audiences to enjoy.
The rest is a generic, blood-curdling, body-slashing, squelching fest with the requisite ‘dead-not-dead’ horror moment that renders the threat almost supernatural.
Feels like the next step in Spielberg’s cinematic arsenal, a real test for his loyal fans and a demonstration of what he can achieve next. However, if first-player video gaming is not your bag, you might struggle with it.
Action-packed and unforgiving in nature, Red Sparrow will be as divisive for fans as Mother! was for Lawrence. The ending does leave things open for a sequel though: You be the judge as to whether it warrants it.
take Den of Thieves as it comes for pure action and character titillation, it works. Just don’t dig deeper, or you’re in trouble. It’s a crying shame as Butler actually delivers one of his best performances to date.
Film 3 does not add anything new – apart from the odd action scene, it just fills us in on the next saga in the girls’ lives. Not a bad thing for any fan, really.
A bit of a lackluster stew. Maybe the Justice League has had a bumpy start. Now they have worked together, they need another screen outing to prove themselves…
Good-value family entertainment, with all kinds of characters in the mix. Do catch this if you can!
